1. What can be tracked?
timr allows you to track the position of your employees when they start and stop a recording. Therefore you can see with one mouse click where your employees are located when starting and stopping their project times. This feature helps your company saving time and money.
Note: The position is only tracked when you start and/or stop a recording. timr doesn't offer live position tracking.
Example: You run an installer-craft company with 5 employees. Your employees are working on field services most of the time and they are working on different construction sites. You get a call from an important customer, it is an emergency case. With timr you can see the location of your employees at a glance. Now you can easily send the employee who is next to the customer.
2. Where to view the positions?
In the timr web application in 'Reports', 'User Dashboard' you see the starting position of the employees and the start and stop position of already saved entries in the single tabs 'Working Time', 'Project Time' and 'Drive Log'.
The position is tracked at the start and the end of the recording.
If you move the mouse over the icon 
a map, like shown in the screenshot below, appears. As indicated in this example the position at the time of start is shown. Apart from the exact address, you can see the latitude, the longitude and the accuracy. The accuracy is particularly important because the signal may not always be present (eg. in buildings).
By clicking 
you get a larger, clearer picture in form of google maps, which provides you a more detailed map of the tracked position.
3. Your Team at a glance
Running Recordings
Like shown in the example "Running Project Time Recordings" you can see the user who is working (marker 1), on which task (marker 2). There is also the possibility for your employees to provide a detailed description (marker 3). In marker 4 you see the start date and the start time. You see the current duration (marker 5) and the icon 
of marker 8 shows the position of the employee.
4. How to track the Position?
The position tracking is only available through the mobile clients. The timr app detects your position on your phone and shows it in the web application.
4.1. Configuration for position tracking
Using the GPS position tracking in timr requires you to activate the feature in your timr account.
Additionally, employees have to allow the timr app on their smartphone to use the mobile's GPS position.
